90LS400Lexus Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 My 90 LS400 has the gold option grille. The outer part of the grille that is. The emblem is gold, which is fine, but I just really do not like the other part being gold, especially since it is starting to lose the gold color in spots. Also, I think that my cars awful (dark metallic brown) color is bad enough, without even having the gold trim. Is there anything I can put on it to remove the gold plating, or will I have to replace it? I do not need the center (black) part of the grille, but will this also have to be changed out if I want to do away with the outer gold part? Besides E-bay (already looked) does anyone know of a good place to find a replacement grille? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LinuxFan Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 There is usually one of these grills there and they go for cheap always... even if you use the buy it now option. I have a silver one and so far, I don't see any reason for changing it. I am however thinking about getting one of those fender crome kits -- the price seems right, between 30 and 45 bucks. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvermate Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 i just installed my chrome grille kit a couple of weekends ago. looks really sharp, gives it a more modern look as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90LS400Lexus Posted May 8, 2004 Author Share Posted May 8, 2004 Thanks for that link. Just what I am looking for. Of course it is in Tennessee and I have to pay 9.25% sales tax. :D I have not looked at mine closely, but is there anyway I can put my gold Lexus emblem back in the chrome grille? Also- how difficult is it to change? (The grille that is). I have seen some LS400s with the chrome grille, but still had the gold Lexus emblem. I think it looks good. Thanks again.
